Chemical Vapor Deposition, Physical Vapor Deposition, High-entropy Alloy CoatingsAbstract
With the development and widespread application of advanced machining technologies such as difficult-to-machine materials and green dry cutting, the cutting environment for tools has become increasingly harsh, leading to continuous updates and iterations of tool coating materials. Coatings have evolved from binary coatings to multi-component coatings; structurally, they have progressed from single-layer to multi-layer and high-entropy alloy coatings. This article summarizes the preparation methods of hard coatings, the current development status of tool coatings, and their applications. It introduces the characteristics and application limitations of the two major preparation techniques: chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD). It analyzes the performance advantages and development trends of binary and multi-component coatings, high-entropy alloy coatings, and self-lubricating coatings. The article points out that the future of hard coating technology will be directed towards sustainability, high performance, multifunctionality, and intelligence to meet complex processing demands and promote the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.
